The 9th Girl

By: Tami Hoag

Narrated by: David Colacci

"Kovac had seen more dead bodies than he could count: men, women, children; victims of shootings, stabbings, strangulations, beatings; fresh corpses and bodies that had been left for days in the trunks of cars in the dead of summer. But he had never seen anything quite like this...."

On a frigid New Year’s Eve in Minneapolis, a young woman’s brutalized body falls from the trunk of a car into the path of oncoming traffic. Questions as to whether she was alive or dead when she hit the icy pavement result in her macabre nickname, Zombie Doe. Unidentified and unidentifiable, she is the ninth nameless female victim of the year, and homicide detectives Sam Kovac and Nikki Liska are charged with the task of not only finding out who Zombie Doe is but who in her life hated her enough to destroy her. Was it personal? Or could it just have been a crime of opportunity? Their greatest fear is that not only is she their ninth Jane Doe of the year but that she may be the ninth victim of a vicious, transient serial killer they have come to call Doc Holiday. Crisscrossing America’s heartland, Doc Holiday chooses his victims at random, snatching them in one city and leaving them in another, always on a holiday. If Zombie Doe is one of his victims, he has brought his gruesome game to a new and more terrifying level. But as Kovac and Liska begin to uncover the truth, they will find that the monsters in their ninth girl’s life may have lived closer to home. And even as another young woman disappears, they have to ask the question: Which is the greater evil - the devil you know or the devil you don’t?

SUSPENSE!

Would you consider the audio edition of The 9th Girl to be better than the print version?

I like how he reads it with inflection and suspense

The plot twist

Any additional comments?

I love the way Tami Hoag writes, I find her books very suspenseful and love the plot twists. She has a little bit of romance in her books but not too much to make it sappy.

Fantastic!

This is a fantastic, crazy thriller with plenty of twists and turns that kept my attention throughout!

suspenseful

the up the author did a great job the narrator did a great job this is a great book to listen to I finished it in two days which is very rare for me I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

Every parent's nightmare

The story was gripping. The characters were so real that I kept needing to check in with my own teenage children.

Love this narrator!

This narrator is by far better than the last books narrator. Great story and I like the characters and their interactions with each other, especially the two detectives.
